A photo that changed the world




Flight 1903

On December 17, 1903, two bicycle mechanics from Ohio realized one of humanity’s wildest dreams: For 12 seconds they were possessed of true flight. Before the day ended, Orville and Wilbur Wright would keep their wood-wire-and-cloth Flyer aloft for 59 seconds. Sober citizens knew that only birds used wings to take to the air, so without being at the site, near Kitty Hawk, N.C., or seeing this photo, few would have believed the Wrights’ story. Although it had taken ages for humans to fly, once the brothers made their breakthrough, the learning curve reached the heavens. Within 15 years of this critical moment, nearly all the elements of the modern airplane had been imagined, if not yet developed.

Travis Bickle quote of the week




The days go on and on… they don’t end. All my life needed was a sense of someplace to go. I don’t believe that one should devote his life to morbid self-attention, I believe that one should become a person like other people.
A couple sleeping pills and other substances. And the night drags on and on.
..
Hope in one hand. Shit in the other. We'll see which one gets filled first.

Ted Nugent. What an asshole.

Maybe Oklahoma is cool after all



After weeks of controversy and uncertainty, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry is scheduled to sign an executive order Tuesday (April 28) that names the Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" as the official rock song of Oklahoma.

Last night/Up The Irons

Photobucket

Went to a special screening of the new Iron Maiden documentary Flight 666. Last year the band invited a film crew to travel with them on their world tour. An ambitious journey only made possible through the use of a private jet called Ed Force 1. The best part? Lead singer, Bruce Dickinson, actually flew the fucking thing...

Photobucket


I should have known, but Maiden fans are a .. well fanatic bunch. Before the movie started people were screaming out their first maiden show
"85"
"83"

and I think half the audience was wearing Maiden shirts. One guy even had a rubber mask of Eddie from the Powerslave album cover...

Photobucket

50,000 miles
5 continents

Run for the hills muthafucka!

The nights are so long.
What I wouldn't give for just a little inner peace.

Dreams






Aries (3/21-4/19)

If your recent dreams have been unclear, don't worry. They don't mean anything.

Gee thanks Yahoo Horoscopes for telling me my dreams are meaningless. Thankfully I think astrology is bullshit.

Another pic for Sun.

a few more

This one was over played...






And yes, pardon the quality

However..



I did like Little Caesar's commercials.. If you listen closely you'll hear what the Beastie Boys sampled for the beginning of "Sure Shot"

Does anyone?





remember these horrible commercials? Oh how I hated them. And oh how glad I am they didn't become advertising icons like the "Where's the beef" lady.

Cletus' train log blog: a Sox production



Cletus train log April 17, 2009 - Again she continues to elude me. Did I look like an asshole when I was acting all cool with my friends the other day?? What have I done for her to avoid me. Now now Cletus, don't lose it. Maybe she is just sick. Maybe you'll see her on Monday and she'll say "hi". Just keep it together man.

Cletus' train log blog: a Sox production



Cletus' train log April 16, 2009 - She wasn't on the train this morning. Is she avoiding me? I must investigate further..

Highway to the torture zone



So Fonzie has posted about this before. But i thought I'd give my 2 cents. Last night after a Hoboken sushi jaunt, Miss Alex and I were hanging around her crib chillin', the neighbor's torture light was on. Out of the blue we hear a scream. We figure they must be really wailing on the kid tonight. We pop our heads out the window to investigate. Alex starts singin' "Highway to to the torture zone", putting Kenny Loggins to shame.

Photobucket


Now maybe you had to be there, but it cracked our shit up something fierce. So I figure each day of the week is a different kind of torture.

Monday - Rack night. They put the poor kid on a rack and stretch him until his shoulders and hips become dislocated. The real fun comes when they pop his joints back into their sockets. They give him a leather strap to bite on. If he screams, that's an extra flogging.

Photobucket


Tuesday - Paper cut and rubbing alcohol night. They take some primo card stock and use it to give the kid paper cuts on his eyelids and the skin between his fingers and toes. Then they swab the cuts in copious amounts of rubbing alcohol. If they are feeling particularly vicious they use salt.

Photobucket

Wednesday - Waterboarding night. This one is self explanatory.

Photobucket

Thursday - Human pinata night. This one of the only days of the week the kid gets to eat. He gets fed a good meal and then they beat him until he pukes it back up. If they are feeling REALLY mean they make him eat the puke.

Photobucket


Friday - Broken glass bath night. Among the chamber of horrors in the attic is an old bath tub full of broken glass. On Fridays they force the poor kid to lie in it for an hour. They don't allow him to sit still for more than 5 mins at a time insuring that he is constantly getting cut.

this my baby girls and you don't have kids Pictures, Images and Photos

Saturday - Lit cigarettes on the soles of the feet night. This one is self explanatory to. Bare feet. Lit cigarette. Ouch. Now Sat is generally a day of staying out late and having some fun. It's been a long week and everyone has some steam to blow off so the second half of the evening is a grab bag anything goes. A simple slap? No problem. A knife under the fingernails? Knock yourself out.

Photobucket


Sunday - Intestinal Russian Roulette night. The boy is asked to choose 1 out of a possible 5 meals. 4 of these have a non fatal dose of e coli. If he happens to choose the 1 meal that doesn't have the bacteria he is beaten with a brick until unconscious.

Photobucket

There you have it people. He needs our help. Up next? Plotting a daring rescue.

Another typical Tuesday night

Obama - Pirate killer

Creepy



Here's the trailer for Lars von Trier's "Anti-Christ". Will it be as good as "Rosemary's Baby"? I doubt it. But still.. It does look creepy.
